AskHistorians Podcast 083 - The European Armoring Guilds and People 1300-1600

In part two of a two-part series on the European Armoring
Industry, WARitter joins us to discuss just exactly how the knights
in shining armor got their shining armor. Wrapping up from a

WARitter takes us onwards through a whirlwind tour of the history
of the guilds, peoples and places that made up the armoring
industry, and how armoring eventually declined and fell. (58m)
